The ‘Castellammare’ collection marks Michael Fausto’s debut as part of the official CFDA Fashion Week Calendar.

Taking place within the wondrous island of Sicily, the SS2025 NYFW collection evokes a modernized retelling of Il Gattopardo, following our muse as she spends a summer at her family’s palazzo in Palermo.

Throughout this voyage, heirlooms are discovered, relics unearthed, and myths are reborn.

The baroque and ornate details that embellish the island are approached with a relaxed and sensual nature that is inherent to its culture.

Our story’s heroine embraces this unique dichotomy, taking us on a journey throughout fashionable lidos, fabled grottos, and grand balls.

Castellammare, follows the summer of an Italian debutante as she explores “la dolce vita.”

Shoes were provided by Badgley Mischka, makeup was provided by AOFMPro, and hair by Aveda.
